IIP preview
The Build Definition wizard provides a summary panel for you review all of the selections.
If you run the Build Definition wizard in connected mode, then we can also start the processing engine to build the integrated installation package (IIP). If you run the Build Definition wizard in disconnected mode, then copy the build definition file to the target system before using the ifcli command to start the processing engine.
Build definition file
The Build Definition wizard produces the XML build definition file for input to the processing engine. The processing engine uses the build definition file to locate all of the components that it includes in the IIP.
Select the Save build definition file and generate integrated installation package radio button if we are in connected mode and the Build Definition wizard and the processing engine are running on the same machine. Otherwise, select the Save the build definition file only radio button to save the file if you intend to use the build definition file on another machine.
If you did not specify any contributions in the build definition wizard, then the Save build definition file and generate integrated installation package option will be disabled.
Estimate Size and Available Space
Click Estimate Size and Available Space to get an estimate of the size of the IIP that is generated. This option is only available in connected mode.
Click Finish to save the build definition file in disconnected mode or to save the file and start building the IIP when you are running in connected mode.
A status indicator is displayed at the end of the panel. When processing completes, a completion message is displayed and the Installation Factory console returns.
Disconnected mode processing
The Save build definition file and generate integrated installation package radio button is inactive if we are in disconnected mode.
The IIP preview panel shows the location of the build definition file. Click Finish to save the build definition file and return to the Installation Factory console.
Copy the build definition file to the system that has the processing engine. Start the processing engine with the install_factory_root /bin/ifcli script.
The processing engine reads the build definition file and creates the IIP.
